I don't see how an unemployed person living in the US would be able to afford Ozempic. No NHS over there.One version of events I have heard is that most of it is diverted to the USA and sold there as a weight control drug. If the idea of trying to help obese unemployed persons go back to work by prescribing Semaglutide and the like catches on
The uk government have suggested that prescribing people mounjaro will get them back to work. Seems unlikely to me.Do I understand correctly you believe that a large number of people (on either side of the pond) are unemployed solely due to being obese?
While there are some people who are so large that they are very much disabled because of this, there are very few of those. If such a drug could improve their quality of life, and maybe even enable them to work again, I should hope they will get it on prescription!
Most fat people do not have a problem working, and I highly doubt losing weight will suddenly enable many unemployed people who happen to be fat to start working again.
Antje77, I was making no personal observation about the issues of unemployment or obesity, I was simply asking about the implications for diabetics of a government policy.
I was unaware of your government having come up with this very unlikely solution to unemployment, my apologies.The uk government have suggested that prescribing people mounjaro will get them back to work.
No apology necessary at all. I have to say that it sounds like a very unlikely solution to me too and I am sure that you will see why I asked about the implications for diabetics if the drugs are already in short supply.I was unaware of your government having come up with this very unlikely solution to unemployment, my apologies.
No apology needed, I wouldn’t be aware of your government policies either.I was unaware of your government having come up with this very unlikely solution to unemployment, my apologies.
